I have the below code which is an event listener for a chatbot.

The userType value is not being preserved or passed from the first if statement to the second if statement, the value is undefined.

How can I prevent the userType value from being cleared by the second if statement?

   q('handleEvents', function(name, data) {
    var userType;
    if (name === 'QCP') {
      userType = "CP";
          console.log(userType);
    }
    if (name === 'EC') {
          console.log('EC found');
      console.log(userType);
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      window.dataLayer.push({ 
               'event': 'qlc',
               'qUserType' : userType
         });      
    }
  });
